AS a child, Shayal Dutt’s dream was to become a nurse.
Although she received an offer to study nursing at the University of Fiji in Lautoka, she declined.

After years of sacrifice and hard work, she graduated last month from the University of the South Pacific with a bachelor’s degree in environmental science.
